Healthy Mind, Happy Heart Wellington, New Zealand

My daughter is turning 18 this week, wow! That only shows how time flies by, just like that.

When you practice mindfulness, you try to bring your attention to the here and now.

You stop your mind from being busy thinking about everything that was, and from everything that is coming. You bring your mind to the present, and allow yourself to take in what is here. This helps to really enjoy the moment, as the here and now is really all we have.

So this week, purposefully take a few moments everyday to do this. Bring your mind to the present moment, and take in all that is here.

If you have little children, it’s easy to forget to do this, but you just must. They will grow up so quickly, you want to cherish these moments, so watch them closely, listen and smell, and enjoy that moment to the fullest.
